RUST

Here is my rusty offering,

Last month I won a fab giveaway from the lovely Valerie (bastelmania blog) and included in all the wonderful crafty bits was a lovely paper napkin with the image of Michelangelo's famous touching hands

(The creation of Adam)

So... I scrunched up the paper napkin and stuck it to a cardboard tag base.

Inked it up a little with some assorted distress inks.

(rusty hinge, tea dye. scattered straw, walnut stain)

Stamped the quote...

'If you rest, you rust' - Helen Hayes (actress)

Then highlighted the hand and quote with a white pen.

....added a rusty spade, some distressed cloth and a clay cab face which I've painted to try to look rusty!
